Celtic

Ange Postecoglou's side face Dundee United this afternoon at Tannadice. The Scottish Champions were 9-0 winners when the sides met earlier this season but ...

Enjoy the match and best of luck to Ange and the Bhoys. The broadcasters have given Scottish football the ‘Super Sunday’ slot owing to the English FA Cup Fourth Round matches taking place this week. [@ScottishFA]need to be taken to task for facilitating the corruption Both have a significant track record this season in this regard and at some stage Scottish football really has got to say enough is enough. How can that penalty yesterday, for example be a penalty when the Goldson one against Celtic on 2 January was not? Collum brings the game into disrepute with his fear of theRangers.

It's a famous fixture in the Scottish football calendar and has yielded an eye-popping 17 goals in two meetings this season.

There's still some ways to go, of course, and a clash with But a bright start from the champions. Eye of the needle pass from Jota finds his goal hungry strike pal but the man of the moment miscues and it lands in the away end. But bright and full of intent from one of the men who makes Celtic tick. The winger was primed to strike but had a change of heart and his lofted ball for Kyogo was all wrong. Well, a chance to lump it into the box and Sibbald's curling ball almost finds Fletcher before it lands in the grateful hands of Hart. This time his strike lacks the curl needed to find the back post but he is bright as a button here. Don Robertson says foul only but a cynical pull back from the full back after a heavy touch. Not only a striker, he's well up for getting physical in the middle of the park. Celtic fans reckon the defender is underrated but sometimes he gets his feet in a tangle and a crass clearance draws a sigh from pal Carter Vickers. VAR is checking for offisde which seems to indicate a penalty but now the referee is heading to his monitor. And the Australian is inches away from the perfect cross for Abada.

The full-back admitted he remains gutted he had to leave 'world institution' Celtic after 18 months.

"My approach is always the same. "I enjoyed myself in the first game and Union's 3-5-2 system suits me. I shudder when I think about the 60,000 fans at every home game. "But I would have gone to these clubs as a back-up option and I was not interested in that. "But leaving Celtic was very difficult for me. I couldn't take the risk.

“My approach is always the same. I enjoyed myself in the first game and Union’s 3-5-2 system suits me. Those derbies against (the)Rangers are a special experience and you immediately understand why it is one of the biggest games that exist in the football world. In Scotland, the football was hard, but fair. “But I would have gone to these clubs as a back-up option and I was not interested in that. “Previously, some Croatian players signed for big clubs and didn’t play for them and were dropped from the national team.

Josip Juranovic, who joined Union Berlin in the January transfer window, has made a beautiful claim about his time at Celtic.

While his time at Celtic Park might not have been the longest, it was certainly very impactful and he will be remembered by the fans for a long time to come. And it is pretty clear that he has fond memories of his time playing for the Hoops. On the other hand, while Union Berlin might not be one of the biggest names in Europe, they do seem to be making a Bundesliga challenge this season. While Juranovic might have remained at Celtic for only 18 months, he had become a fan favourite during that period of time. And it is safe to say that he played a key part in the Hoops’ triumphs over the past 18 months. He had been a starter for Ange Postecoglou’s side since he arrived at Parkhead in the summer of 2021 from Legia Warsaw.

The striker revealed he didn't watch football as a youngster before the Club World Cup in Japan.

"Those derbies against Rangers are a special experience and you immediately understand why it is one of the biggest games that exist in the football world.

Not because I'm afraid of competition, but because I want to play all the time and be in the eyes of Croatia manager Zlatko Dalic. I shudder when I think about the 60,000 fans at every home game. And the defender is gushing over his time spent in Postecoglou's team but admitted Union offered him a pathway he could not turn down. Some of those clubs were - I don't know how else to say it - much bigger than Union Berlin. I met so many good people there, so many friends who will remain my friends for the rest of my life. In Scotland, the football was hard, but fair. He said: "I don't want to talk about the names of the clubs, but I will tell you that we had several options on the table.

It was a clear cut penalty and Mooy sent Birighitti the wrong way. It was the Australia international midfielder’s fifth goal in his last seven game. Scampering down the right, Mooy sent over a wonderful deep cross to the back post. Had the ball fallen to the pacier Glenn Middleton Celtic could have been in real trouble. United were now living dangerously and Jota saw a shot straight at Birighitti. Kyogo Furuhashi was in impressive form again for Celtic and was unlucky not to score in the game

On for final stages for Celtic debut. Been on the fringes. Scored in the Scottish Cup win over Morton. A great season to date. Forced brilliant save from United No1. Keeping Matt O'Riley out of the team after excellent run of form. Close to a goal in first half but shot wide. Great eye for a pass. Here's how we rated the league leaders. Mooy - who has been in stunning form since the World Cup return - made no mistake as he sent Mark Birighitti the wrong way to double the champions' advantage and maintain his 100 per cent record from 12-yards. Moments later the goalscorer turned provider as he forced a handball out of Kieran Freeman and following a VAR check whistler Don Robertson correctly pointed to the spot. [Hoops](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/all-about/celtic-fc) grabbed two quick-fire goals at Tannadice in the second period to put the game out of sight.

Celtic deservedly came out on top of a keenly contested game at Tannadice as second half goals from Jota and a penalty from Aaron Mooy...

He should have had an assist too, as his cross was headed over from close range late on by Daizen Maeda. He certainly looks a real physical presence up top and seems to have pace to burn, and Celtic fans will be looking forward to seeing what he can bring to the party in support of Kyogo over the coming weeks and months. All in all though, this was a performance and result that shouldn’t dent confidence as United look to press on with their recent upturn in fortunes and climb away from trouble at the bottom of the table. What may rankle with the United players and manager is the way that this game so closely mirrored the defeat here to Rangers just a few weeks back, when they competed in the game before conceding a couple of soft goals in quick succession at the start of the second half to kill their chances of a result. He caught United cold at the start of the second half too, cutting into the box and curling just wide of the far top corner, but he was looking the Celtic player most likely to open the scoring, which he duly did. He played a beautiful through ball that sliced open the United defence within the opening seconds that the striker couldn’t convert, his stinging volley brought the best save of the first half from the United keeper, and his no-look pass played Reo Hatate into the area for the midfielder to clip the ball off the far post.

Dundee United head coach Liam Fox says he "can't take positives right now" after his side's 2-0 Scottish Premiership defeat at home to Celtic.

"Birighitti has misjudged it and we drop the runner, so it's a free header. "I think we should try and stop the cross, first thing," Fox adds. "We had to be braver on the ball, better in possession, because we didn't threaten enough for my liking.

The midfielder set up the first goal before scoring the second from the penalty spot as Celtic won 2-0 at Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership.

Celtic had their penalty five minutes later after Robertson was called to the monitor to view a handball claim against Freeman after Jota’s ball into the box struck the full-back. Hart twice held efforts from Fletcher and Hatate saw a shot saved but the main incident of note after the goals was an 82nd-minute debut for Celtic’s new signing, Oh Hyeon-gyu. Celtic were awarded a penalty seconds later after Furuhashi went down between the close attention of Liam Smith and Birighitti, who punched the ball clear. Jota came close again just into the second half before putting Celtic ahead. Celtic’s victory on their previous visit to Tannadice in late August cost the then United manager, Jack Ross, his job. The visitors had 17 efforts at goal to the home side’s four.

"Jota is getting back to fitness and the levels we know he can get to. The biggest compliment I can pay him is he plays every game like it's his debut, as if he has everything to prove. "I know I dismissed it (the 400 game mark) before the game,” the maanger said. “[It was tough] to a certain extent, I thought we handled it well in difficult conditions. Celtic were initially awarded a spot-kick in the first period when United keeper Mark Birighitti collided with Kyogo Furuhashi, only for referee Don Robertson to reverse his decision after checking the pitchside VAR monitor. After a goalless opening 45 minutes, Jota's header and an Aaron Mooy penalty secured the visitors' win.

Dundee United vs Celtic It's a famous fixture in the Scottish football calendar and has yielded an eye-popping 17 goals in two meetings this season.

The visitors had 18 efforts at goal to the home side’s four. Jota came close again just into the second half before putting Celtic ahead. What a ball from Mooy and the man of the match is there to score as Birighitti gets his angles all wrong. And the Australian is inches away from the perfect cross for Abada. VAR is checking for offisde which seems to indicate a penalty but now the referee is heading to his monitor. The recent write-up has talked up a team with a real steel and it’s there for all to se today. Another goal for the man who has earned a cast-iron place in the starting XI. But that’s been about as much of the drama there has been in the Celtic box this half. Celtic are homing in on another win as the man of the moment finishes with aplomb. Mooy’s cross drifted over the head of Birighitti, who seemed to be taken by surprise by the arrival of Jota at speed and the Portuguese winger squeezed a header in from a tight angle. The champions made it a remarkable 21 wins in 23 games after a sinking Dundee United in the second half. It’s a famous fixture in the Scottish football calendar and has

If Oh does well and Kyogo stays on at Celtic, it is unlikely that they would try to sign Cho in the summer. The Bundesliga side have gone on to add a striker to their ranks recently though, by signing Ludovic Ajorque. Thus, could the Hoops rekindle their interest in Cho in the summer again?

It was met by Jota at the back post who headed home from a narrow-angle to give the visitors the lead. The Australian rose highest, punching the ball clear before the referee pointed to the sport after an adjudged foul. For all their domination of the ball, Mark Birighitti was only called into action twice in the first half. An excellent cross-field ball found Aziz Behich but the Australian's cross was too high to find a United man - drifting out for a goal kick. Smart play from Jota sent Kyogo through on goal but a poor finish let United off as he lifted his effort over the bar. United lined up as we did when the blue side of Glasgow visited Tannadice earlier this month.

Former Celtic striker Tony Cascarino has opened up on his struggles at Parkhead and admitted he regretted not signing for Southampton instead.

"European football is the benchmark for Rangers and Celtic because one or the other always wins the league – obviously, it’s been virtually all Celtic in recent years – and it’s not good reading. "Part of me asks ‘would the Scottish league be better off without Rangers and Celtic?’ because it would immediately become more competitive and another club – or clubs – could benefit from the Champions League.

Celtic's comfortable 2-0 win away to Dundee United didn't contain many stand-out moments. The statistics it extended are firmly out of the ordinary, though.

In their 4-0 thumping of the Ibrox men in September, they actually only had 55 per cent possession. Only twice this season have they had to sort-of share the ball in games. Even in their one league loss this season – the 2-0 defeat by St Mirren in Paisley four months ago – they had 80 per cent possession.
